At a Glance
Buggy tip: Buggy-friendly routes are available around the lower/lakeside areas. Some of the wider forest trails are much steeper.
Beautiful forest park with a fantastic network of walking trails for different ages and abilities, from shorter family-friendly routes to longer woodland hikes with viewpoints across the surrounding countryside. Families can discover some of the impressive Giants of the Sperrins sculptures, explore woodland paths and streams, enjoy picnic areas and take in the scenery from the forest drive. There are also mountain-bike trails and plenty of space for a proper outdoor family adventure.
